Tommy Lasorda looked to be having a great time the day before he suffered a mild heart attack.

TMZ posted a video of the ex-Los Angeles Dodgers manager eating and singing his heart out at the Italian restaurant Bamonte’s the evening before suffering a heart attack. Lou Piniella accompanied Lasorda at the restaurant and surprisingly did suffer a heart attack of his own after sitting through Tommy’s version of “Way Marie”!
